This is perhaps the most interesting presidential race the United States has seen since Harry Truman trounced Thomas Dewey. It’s interesting because Barack Obama has received some highly unlikely endorsements and the smart money is betting he’ll win. Christopher Buckley, son of the founder of modern conservatism, William F. Buckley, was recently bounced as a columnist for the National Review because he endorsed Obama rather than the Republican candidate. Ken Adelman also endorsed Obama, as did George Bush’s former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. What gives?
